A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity.

The member receiving this offer has been targeted and the offer is not transferable. ExecuStay, Marriott Executive Apartments and Marriott Vacation Club® owner-occupied weeks are not eligible for bonus points and nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for bonus points. Only one room per hotel is counted toward a member’s nights or stay. Members electing to earn miles are not eligible for this promotion.

My June 4-11 stay counted double ( albeit using some kind of dodgy exchange rate rather than the official one).

I finished over 62,000 bonus points so I'm happy. And unfortunately my travel is about to fall off a cliff (for a short period, hopefully) so the timing of this promo couldn't have been better for me. Just finished 22 straight weeks on the road (hotels usually 3-7 nights in any of those weeks).

This worked

Extra 50k points greatly appreciated.

All of mine posted simultaneously with the nights themselves, and were categorized as “Extra.”

As part of this promotion, Marriott Bonvoy members who are the primary account holder of a U.S.-issued Marriott Bonvoy co-brand credit card (Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card, Marriott Bonvoy Business™ American Express® Card, Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™ Credit Card from Chase, Marriott Bonvoy™ Premier Credit Card from Chase, Marriott Bonvoy™ Premier Plus Business Credit Card from Chase, Marriott Bonvoy™ Credit Card from Chase, Marriott Bonvoy Business™ Credit Card from Chase and/or The Ritz-Carlton™ Credit Card from JPMorgan) will earn 500 bonus points per weekend stay, including the first weekend stay, at participating Marriott Bonvoy properties during the promotion earning period. A ‘weekend stay’ is defined as a stay that includes a Friday or Saturday night regardless of where the hotel is located. The 500 bonus points per weekend stay is in addition to any double bonus points earned. Marriott Bonvoy member’s card account must be open as of May 21, 2019 in order to qualify for the Card Member bonus. To be eligible to receive the Card Member bonus, Card Member must have an active Marriott Bonvoy member account linked to their credit card that was used to register for this promotion. Bonus points will be awarded to the member’s account up to six weeks after the promotion ends.
So it's been 6 weeks since the promo ended and no weekend bonus has posted.

I called Marriott today, and the agent I spoke to had no idea what bonus I was talking about. I asked to speak to a supervisor. He said he was a supervisor.

I told him the promo ran from Mar 19 to June 4. He insisted that this was a double points promo and not a weekend bonus promo. I read him the T&Cs above.

He insisted that those points would be coming from Amex and not Marriott just like the monthly points. I said there is no way for Amex to know whether I have a weekend stay or not. All they see is a charge on the statement. Who knows if it was prepaid, or charged a few days late.

He tried to disqualify some of my stays because they were only a Friday or a Saturday night stay. I re-read the T&Cs to him.

In the end, he ran out of excuses and finally gave me my missing points.

I was waiting the 6 weeks too, but mine haven't posted either. I wonder how many others are in the same boat?

I suspect all of us. Marriott has never been very good with timelines.

I had six qualifiers. Any bets on whether they actually post?

After reading this, I may owe those Hyatt folks an apology for some of my recent criticism.
